[INDOLOGY] Fwd: Whitney and doubling of "ch"

[Madhav Deshpande]

In geminates like क्क, according to the Pratishakhyas, the contact in the
first consonant is not released, and the same contact as the first
consonant continues to be held longer till it is released slightly later.
In such cases, the first consonant is called अभिनिधान. [स्पर्शस्य
स्पर्शेऽभिनिधान:]
